Character creating: Wanting to change to Highlander.

[Duckie]

I basically wanna change my race to Highlander seeing as they are just so damn pretty. I'm really really bad at making them look good though

Does anyone have any advice or anything who has a female Highlander themselves? I'd really appreciate it <3

Hmmm. As far as faces go, skin tone and eye choices seem to make the most impact. If you go light the area around the eyes can make it look like someone gave you a black eye bruise. But, you can always use sunglasses, and there are even some helmets that can aid in accentuating facial features (like the ones that mold their armor trim closely around the eyebrow area). For outfits, it's tricky. Thighs can look thick paired with an odd skirt or leg armor. I try to stick to shape-hugging/skin-baring pieces, and then layer from there. There are visual work-arounds you can play around with. Like some boot styles can trick the eye into making their legs appear slimmer. If you do go with heavy leg armor, make sure the body piece or boots downplay it. Also, because of the way they pose, the more feminine outfit styles tend to look a little mismatched. But in time and with many tests, I'm sure you'll be able to come across something you like.

Not my highlander, but I think she's pretty decent. ^^

I get lots of compliments on my Highlander :3


Tanned skin is pretty nice on Highlanders, and their emotes are very confident for the most part and they have very bold stances. I generally can't think of them as particularly "girly" but some designs I've seen make them look like very classy ladies. It really amounts to what YOU like though and I've spent many many hours in character creation (I've even taken a lot of care in all 30 something of my retainers on top of my 13 characters xD)

But... why would you go anywhere from Lala? :O

Because once you go Highlander, there is no going back since you will fall in love with yours immediately.

[Aronys]

No, you got that wrong. It's once you go Lala, you never go back.

No, you got that wrong. It's once you go Lala, you never go back.

I tried to make her more tanned at one point but it doesn't work on my girl because she's a redhead. I use the muscle slider at the lower end which is still pretty buff.
